Ohh, well in that case wouldn't the Paeonians be a closer match? They lived roughly in the same area as the Aromanians and are believed to be Thracians.

I'd say that a more likely case is Latinized Illyrians, they just got Hellenized later on, so a more conclusive answer would be Romano-Illyrian-Greeks due to the presence of some E-V13 samples, that haplogroup being heavily associated with Illyria.

I've seen recently that people have started sharing a theory about a common ancestor between the Corvinus/Hunyadi and Basarab families, so I decided to dig in and there is decent evidence for this. The theory: The story goes that Basarab I is also the ancestor of the Hunyadi family and that the...

The haplogroup's density in Italy could indicate the Vlach/Illyrian origin theory which I mentioned earlier, Skanderbeg belongs to the same haplogroup as Vlad the Impaler and the Basarab dynasty, from what I know, Skanderbeg's descendants ended up in Italy, correct me if I'm wrong. It is very...

Yes, I've noticed this, I agree, my current census is also that they might be mixed with Avars and or Hungarian Conquerors. I have come to this conclusion due to my grandfather sharing the same haplogroup with the Basarabs and Hunyadi houses and me using Vahaduo (a program that gives you genetic...

I'm a Romanian with French ancestry (from Occitania) most likely via the Transylvanian Saxons that were called over to the region by the Hungarian king Géza II. Here is one of my favorite paintings from my ancestral homeland!

I've used a lot of different programs and looked through several genealogical studies, but I used Mytrueancestry for this example, a platform with haplogroup information on almost every European royal house, note that not all of their haplogroups are exact and may not be the exact subclade.

Honestly, I'd say that you're wrong. The Basarab Cuman theory is wrong, you got to understand that certain names don't lead to automatic ancestry for example the various Romanian surnames for other nationalities such as "Ungureanu", "Neamtu", or "Sarbu" which mean Hungarian, German and Serbian...

I'm a carrier of Haplogroup R-DF94 (According to FTdna), Problem is that I have (from what I know) have only Celtic ancestors from Southern France, but from what I understand here, R-DF94 (Present in the Polhill 3 sample) is Germanic, I know that I have some connection to Germanic groups, due to...
